    Totaled - Sell or Scrap?

    Alright, it finally happened, and it's all my fault. I did an oil change, made a rookie mistake because I was tired and didn't get the old gasket all the way off the filter, which made my new one pop off while driving. Lots all my oil, and engine seized up before I could get off the interstate...

    Power Loss at 50mph

    I've got a 1st Gen 5.4, and very few mods other than Gotts Mod, muffler delete, and a SCT 93 octane tune (running 93 octane gas) but this problem seemed to be there before any of my mods. When I'm getting onto the highway, every once in a while I like to re-test my 0-60 time. I seem to have...

    Trip to buy a brush guard

    Took a couple hour trip to go buy a brush guard, found a couple photo ops along the way. Also, I drove so far because the guy only wanted $50 for it.

    Deep Scratch Repair

    I must suck at search, because i refuse to believe this hasn't been discussed before, but... I recently went through a shitty car wash that scratched my roof, several long scratches down to the metal. Filed an insurance claim, they looked at it and cut me a check for $914, which is what the...

    Gotts Mod vs. Hot Air Intake

    I don't have a pic at the moment, so I apologize off the bat. I created my own hot air intake (if that term makes sense) that is essentially a drop in K&N performance filter, and i cut up the factory housing (retained mine, bought one to cut up from the scrap yard) to make it higher flow...

    Roof Rack

    http://cedarrapids.craigslist.org/pts/2809274089.html Should I buy this? Can't see the harm in a $75 gamble. I'm a total noob to this, so if someone could advise me also, do you just bungee strap stuff in or what? Put a tarp over anything not waterproof, or just only put waterproof stuff...

    Dedicated Snow Tires

    I was unable to find a thread about those of us in the snow belt who switch out for dedicated snow tires. I've been reading reviews on tirerack for several tires, but none seem to be written by expedition owners. Got our first big snow of the year today, love the truck in the snow but feel it...

    Water Pump

    So I've been reading some threads on here about the cooling system, and am looking at replacing the water pump. My question is about these "performance" water pumps. Are they worth the money? Will I notice a difference. An example of what I'm talking about I'm mostly concerned about the...

    A little urban off roading

    Had some time to kill before lunch today, so drove down into a part of town that's largely abandoned due to the flood of 2008. Testing out my stock suspension before I do too much to it.

    1999 Remote Start

    I've got a remote start on my truck, but don't know enough about it, and can't seem to find online anywhere (i may just suck at google) but I can't tell if this was factory installed or not. I'm not sure if it was even an option in the 1999's. Anyway, it starts and died after 5 seconds...

    Big Tex Brush Guard

    I found one of these on craigslist for $100, said they pulled it off a Silverado, but if I'm reading everything on it right I believe it should fit. Anyone heard of these or have any experience with this brand? I'm always skeptical when something is 80% new, or however the math works out...

    Spare Tire Relocate

    Alright, I'm trying to do some exterior mods to my truck, and really liked the look of the tiregate I saw, but am on a bit of a budget. I understand that it doesn't swing wide and will block the back door, but I was wondering if anyone had experience with this product, or might direct me towards...

    New To The Area

    Hey there guys, I've been creeping around the forum for a while and was starting to feel creepy having not introduced myself. I'm fairly new to my 99 Eddie Bauer 5.4, having just bought it in June and finally starting to tinker with it. I am somewhat familiar with Fords, my first car was a...
